Agents of the Four Seasons anime details
For now it has been disclosed that WIT Studio (Attack on Titan Seasons 1-3, My Deer Friend Nokotan) will be producing the series. The anime will be directed by Ken Yamamoto (key animator of Mob Psycho 100, Kuroko's Basketball: Last Game), with Kazuhiro Furuhashi (Spy x Family, Dororo) as the animation advisor. The series composition is being done by Ayumu Hisao (I'm in Love with the Villainess, Orange), and Namiko Torii (Uma Musume: Pretty Derby - Shin Jidai no Tobira, Gekkouyoku) is designing the characters. No release window or cast details have been revealed yet.
The anime is based on Kana Akatsuki’s novel series, illustrated by Suoh. It began publishing back in 2021 in ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Bunko light novel imprint. A manga series illustrated by Nappa Komatsu has been serialised in Hakusensha’s LaLa manga magazine since 2022. The anime has revealed a short PV and key visual to celebrate the occasion.
The story takes place in a world where there used to be only one season—Winter. Bored with his lonely existence, Winter cut off a part of himself to bring forth Spring. Mother Earth wished for Summer and Autumn, and they were born. Throughout the ages, the task of changing the seasons fell upon humans known as Agents of the Four Seasons. The main plot revolves around the Agent of Spring Hinagiku, and her devoted guard Sakura—who embark on a journey to bring back spring to the world after Hinagiku was kidnapped for 10 long years.
